I came to my mom and told her I wanted to do this[acting].
Selena
Tejano music is a very relaxing style and it reminds me of home.
Selena
Anywhere in the world you go, you find racism, discrimination. Not just in the United States, or in Texas. It's very sad for me, but that's the way it is. I can't change the world by myself. I, being Hispanic, have also faced discrimination. But … the world keeps turning.
Selena
I'm pretty confident in who I am. I know that for parents everywhere, it's my job to be a role model, and I'm going to do the best I possibly can.
Selena
You have to take what you could get when you're getting started.
Selena
I'm kind of lame. I prefer quiet evenings at home, hanging out with my family.
Selena
What I don't like are arrogant people. We're all equal. I don't like it when a person assumes to be better.
Selena
All I need to do is try and do the best that I can do.
Selena
The reason I'm really appreciative of everything that's going on around me is because of the fact that I never expected it, and I want to keep that attitude.
Selena

Selena
He knew. I could see it in his face. Look, if someone gets infected you've got between ten and twenty seconds to kill them. It might be your brother or your sister or your oldest friend. It makes no difference. And just so you know where you stand - if it happens to you, I'll do it in a heartbeat.
Selena
It's overwhelming ... to know there are hundreds of kids out there that look up to me. I know that's a big responsibility. I am also very confident to say that it is wonderful and I'll do my best that I can do to be the best role model I can be.
Selena
Tejano music was hard for us because I was a girl. My dad had a lot of problems while trying to set up shows for us or presentations because there are a lot of men who don't think that women can get the attention of the public. But ... wrong!
Selena
When you get hard work you get success, and we put a lot of years into it.
Selena
I like having people with me to lean on and write with and have fun with.
Selena
So a part of you is broken when that’s gone. And part of you wants to have that rebellious feeling where you’re just like, forget it — I can do anything I want. I’ve tried it, and I’ve never been that girl. I’m always going to be the girl you want to take home to your parents, not for the night.
Selena
I get so mad about ex-boyfriends, but if a boy hurts me, I don't write a song about it. They don't deserve it!
Selena
The life of an artist is not all glamorous. It's a lot of work. A lot of people think that it's very easy.
Selena
Be strong minded, and always believe that the impossible is possible.
Selena
